Paradise Bay Lido is a small sandy cove at Triq Il-Latnija in Mellieħa, Malta, with clear, warm water and views towards Gozo and Comino. The shallow entry suits children, while swimmers can head towards the rocks to look for fish. Sunbeds, restaurants and refreshment bars are available around the beach. The cove’s size means it can feel crowded, especially in summer, and access from the parking area involves stairs.
Swimming and snorkeling
The sandy shoreline provides an easy way into the water, which is described as clear, warm and shallow near the beach. Rocks farther out give snorkelers a chance to spot fish. The bay’s mix of sand and rocky areas makes it useful to bring footwear suited to both.
Getting down to the beach
The beach is reached by stairs from the parking area, so the descent is a factor if you are travelling with a pushchair. The cove is small, and parking and beach space can be busy in peak season. Restaurants and refreshment bars are located around the shore.
